Water stains can be difficult to remove because they need a little bit different approach.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • New sponge
  • Clean, room temperature water
Step1
The problem with a water spot on leather is outline that is left when the water dries. What we want to do is remove this line.
We need to lightly wet the entire cushion or area with room temperature water with a sponge that hasn't been used much. We don't want to put any more spots on the leather.
Step2
Soak the sponge, then wring it thoroughly. We need it to be as dry as possible.
Step3
Start at the water spot and work your way outward. Be careful not to scrub, we just want to moisten the leather. The goal is to have the moisture lessen the farther you get from the spot.
Step4
Once you let the leather dry, it is best to treat it with Saddle Soap or something other leather treatment as the water tends to dry it out.
Step5
